Grind Camps

[TheVedis]

Not sure if it was said between page 5 and here (got sick of reading the ridiculous back and forth) but one such instance Ved-something-or-other was being vague about is the Ixali camp north of Treespeak node. If you have a light party from 34-39 you'll do all right but if you have 2-3 people max there from 39-44ish you will get a lot of exp with quick kills. You could also split your team up into 2 teams there. One team (preferably smaller) fights on the ledge above the camp, the other team fights in the heart of the camp.

Hope this helps!

ok because i said id comment on this camp

yes i have used it, BUT its one of those camps where there just arent enough good close mobs to keep it going. you end up either running a long time to transition between the 3 "camps" the ixalis spawn at(and they are in no way close to each other, 2 are up top on opposite ends of the crystal and 1 is below) and what ends up happening, is you are running so much you are losing out on sp that could be gained better at another camp.

granted this is a nice relaxed camp you can still earn 15k sp an hour at even at rank 42 or so, if you justs it in the lower camp(the upper camps have rank 40 mobs, the lower camp has high 40s mobs)
but it isnt the camp i was thinking of

Grind Camps

I've posted this on my own LS's board, and I guess I should share it with the community. I guess maybe if more people knew where and what, they'd be doing it, eh? Anyway, a quick guide from R15 to 50.

RANK
[15-19] Yarzon Bleeder @ Camp Horizon > Outside Copperbell Mines (Duo/Trio).
[15-20] Monkeys/Puks @ Mun-Tuy Cellars (Full PT).
[20-24] Cellar Puks @ Nanawa Mines (Full PT).
[24-29] Skeletons/Gnats @ Mun-Tuy Cellars (5,4)(Duo/Trio).
[25-29] Hippocerfs @ Camp Dragonhead >(31,19) (Light PT).
[25-31] The Thousand Maws of Toto-Rak. (Light PT Required).
[25-30] Cursed Eyes @ Nanawa Mines (4,4) (Duo/Trio).
[25-30] Antling Diggers @ Copperbell Mines 2F (Full PT).
[29-34] Black Efts @ Camp Nine Ivies (Light PT).
[30-34] Yarzon/Puddings/Buccaneers @ Mistbeard Cove (Full PT).
[30-34] Goblin Freesword @ Camp Dragonhead (43,21) (Light PT).
[30-32] Buccaneers/Toads @ Camp Bald Knoll (Full PT).
[30-39] Young Raptors @ Camp Iron Lake (27,11) & (27,9) (Full PT).¹
[30-32] Nightblade Assassins @ Halatali Cave Entrance (41,31) (Light PT).
[30-39] Antling Diggers @ Halatali Southeast and Southwest (Full PT).
[33-39] Venomtongue Assassins @ Halatali Cave Entrance (39,29) (Light PT).
[33-39] Ixali Fencers @ Camp Emerald Moss Ixali Fortress (Light PT).
[33-39] Ixali Fencers @ Camp Glory Ixali Fortress (Light PT).
[34-39] Black Efts @ Camp Emerald Moss > Treespeak (Light PT).
[35-40] Dusty Mongrels @ Camp Bluefog (23,6) (Light PT).
[37-39] Venomtongue Assassins @ Halatali Cave Entrance (44,25) (Light PT).
[39-44] Mountain Peiste @ Camp Riversmeet (20,22) (Light PT).
[40-44] Goblin/Diremite/Vulture @ Camp Tranquil >Silent Arbor (42,43) (Full PT).
[44-49] Grass Raptors @ Camp Dragonhead > Boulder Downs (Full PT).
[45-50] Dezmael Darkhold (Good luck with that)! (Full PT).
[49-50] Grass Raptors @ Camp Ever Lakes (Full PT).

Note that the reasons for designating Light PT or Full PT is due to mob count and long respawns. It does not mean that a Full PT is required to grind at these camps. If I've missed a place or you have something to add, please feel free.

EDIT:
¹ I want to add that a lot of people are saying that they're running out of Young Raptors going in at the early 30's. It may very well be that this camp, given the range of their ranks, it be best to go in 35-39.

Just re posting this so everyone can contribute and use the thread again. Also XooZQ if you wanna just copy/paste this again and make a new thread so you can edit it, then do it by all means.

Again, moving between the 3 with a light party was netting us between 18k-20k/hr.

On to the third topic! ~Thevedis, were you killing mice and goats? lol

[TheVedis]

ok, gonna comment on all these camps to the best of my knowledge to start off this thread better, at least the camps i use or used and know of

[20-24] Cellar Puks @ Nanawa Mines (Full PT).
this camp can be used til low 30s, theres no reason to use a full party for them either
[25-29] Hippocerfs @ Camp Dragonhead >(31,19) (Light PT).
[25-31] The Thousand Maws of Toto-Rak. (Light PT Required).
camp good til 35 or so if you dont mind reduced sp the higher you get, the secret to sping in these is to SKIP the bosses and return and reset when you get to them
[25-30] Antling Diggers @ Copperbell Mines 2F (Full PT).
you would think these are a good idea, but they arent, they give less sp then most anything else in the same range, and for needing a full party vs 4 people for going into the dungeon, it really is a less apetitizing camp
[30-39] Young Raptors @ Camp Iron Lake (27,11) & (27,9) (Full PT).¹
you do not want to take a full party here, and you will run out of mobs quickly if you do, youll even run out quick without a full party, take note this camp is being slightly overused on some servers right now so people are almost alayways usualy already there
[30-32] Nightblade Assassins @ Halatali Cave Entrance (41,31) (Light PT).
good luck pulling 1 at a time! they are cluttered
[30-39] Antling Diggers @ Halatali Southeast and Southwest (Full PT).
i tried this, and let me just say its a horrible camp, they link very easily and give crappy sp compared to other camps
[33-39] Venomtongue Assassins @ Halatali Cave Entrance (39,29) (Light PT).
another fun cluster of mobs thats hard to pull solo without links
[33-39] Ixali Fencers @ Camp Emerald Moss Ixali Fortress (Light PT).
you can take these to 45, but beware, camp can barely support a single party 4 of, or even a duo, you will run out of mobs
[33-39] Ixali Fencers @ Camp Glory Ixali Fortress (Light PT).
see above camp
[37-39] Venomtongue Assassins @ Halatali Cave Entrance (44,25) (Light PT).
another bad cluster of mobs
[44-49] Grass Raptors @ Camp Dragonhead > Boulder Downs (Full PT).
you do not need a full party for this, also i dont recomend going at 44, more like 46+ to be safer, or having people in the party be on average at the higher ranks
[45-50] Dezmael Darkhold (Good luck with that)! (Full PT).
hands down the best spot you can go to, IF you dont fight the boss, and kill everything(skip some of the moles where possible, groups of 4 moles suck to kill) the problem with this dungeon is people are so hung up on zerging the boss they wont go in unless they do it, but you can find people if your specific about your intentions and have friends who are into it too
[49-50] Grass Raptors @ Camp Ever Lakes (Full PT).
this is a horrible camp, the raptors are higher level then the others, and even close to 50 you will have issues with it, theres no reason to choose this camp over the other except that the other camp is used alot, and the dungeon is better
